Free screening Tuesday of ‘Logan’s Run’ at Drafthouse Park North

The premise behind “Logan’s Run” couldn’t be more youthful: You turn 30, you turn dead. Hey, it’s the 23rd century, where they must control overpopulation and preserve resources, preferably through clueless hedonism under robot control. Intrigued? See it free Tuesday, July 17, at Alamo Drafthouse Park North, courtesy the Cult Movie/TV Danger Zone. The fun kicks off at 7 p.m. with a costume contest, then the free screening.

Based on the 1967 sci-fi novel of the same name, “Logan’s Run” stars Michael York as Logan 5, a so-called “Sandman” who pursues so-called “Runners” that resist being “reborn” (re: vaporized) for the greater good. Logan’s eyes open up to the truth when the machines that boss him force him on the run.

The 1976 film has quite the Texas connections. Most of it was shot in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, with Corpus Christi’s own Farah Fawcett rocking that iconic ’70s hair, along with Dallas native and Playboy centerfold Ashley Cox. Intriguing, right?
